The State Personnel Board was constitutionally created in 1934 to administer the civil service system and ensure that state employment is based on merit and free of political patronage. A career in public service is the most gratifying and challenging work available. The State of California offers careers in almost every occupation with excellent pay and benefits. Job opportunities are available on a full-time, part-time and seasonal basis.

We have designed our website to provide the most comprehensive and current information available on state job openings and civil service exams. There is a wealth of information to assist job seekers in starting a rewarding career in state service. We hope that you will visit our website often and explore the many opportunities available throughout state government.
